Assignment for Intermolecular Forces in Biology
1. Concept map
A concept map is not an outline. Instead, it is a thoughtful document that shows the important ideas of a subject and the
connections among those ideas. You should prepare a one-page concept map for every web-lecture and use these, along
with classwork problems, to prepare for exams.

What is the major concept in this reading assignment? You should be able to express this in a sentence but put a
short form (a word or two) in a box on the page. This is not the subject heading for the lecture.

Think of a few other big ideas (not just headings) for the major concept. Write these in boxes connected by lines
to the major concept.

Do any of these ideas and concepts relate to others? Draw a line to indicate the connection and include a word or
two on the line to show why they connect.

Select any 3 concepts or ideas. At the bottom of the define these in your own words and explain how these
connect to other ideas.
Your page should look like this:
Questions:
1. In DNA, the two strands are held together by hydrogen bonding. Explain why you think that nature utilizes hydrogen
bonds instead of covalent bonds?
2. Why do you think that dispersion forces are not well suited to the job?
3. What would happen if all the hydrogen bonds suddenly disappeared?
